Comme je dis souvent, il n'y aura jamais trop de blogs et podcasts qui parlent de guitare, c'est pourquoi je suis très heureux de vous présenter une interview de Jonathan Bloomer, un collègue blogueur et podcasteur, qui est l'auteur de l'excellent Guitarnoize, un blog et podcast en anglais sur la guitare dont je suis fan.
Oui nous parlons tous les deux de guitares. Non nous ne sommes pas compétiteurs. Je pense même que nous nous complétons très bien, en effet il y a tellement de sujets et de musiciens à couvrir qu'il n'y pas vraiment de double emploi.
D'ailleurs, c'est une coïncidence mais Jon vient aussi tout juste de publier une interview de Steve Lukather sur Guitarnoize quelques jours après la mienne et dont je vous recommande l'écoute.
Vous pourrez vous rendre compte sur ces deux interviews à quel point nous abordons le sujet de manière différente. CQFD.
Bonne écoute

A l'occasion de la sortie de son album solo Transition, j'ai eu l'occasion de rencontrer l'immense Steve Lukather pour une interview vidéo.
Ce fût bien sûr un grand moment pour moi car j'ai encore en mémoire les longues heures passées à visionner non-stop une cassette VHS (eh oui, ça ne nous rajeunit pas) où Steve expliquait tous ses plans. Alors, le rencontrer et l'interviewer, vous imaginez bien que j'étais aux anges !
Sujets abordés durant l'interview
+ Sa nouvelle guitare Ernie Ball Music Man Luke III
+ Son album solo Transition (que je trouve personnellement très réussi)
+ Son approche de la guitare
+ Ses projets en cours
+ Et plein d'autres choses encore
Comme d'habitude cette interview est disponible au format vidéo sur YouTube ainsi qu'en audio en mp3 sur le podcast.
Extraits de l'album solo joués dans la version audio

On a tous dans la tête le riff de synthé entêtant de "The Final Countdown" d'Europe, en tout cas c'est ce que m'évoquait ce groupe jusqu'à ce que j'écoute ce nouvel album "Bag Of Bones" qui m'a fait découvrir une musique puissante et très rock.
Ce fût donc avec grand plaisir que je suis allé interviewer John Norum, soliste du groupe.

For the first time ever in the show I present you with an interview of an american musician whose main instrument is NOT the guitar but her great voice.
Beth Hart has played with so many guitar players (from Jeff Beck to Joe Bonnamassa) I thought it was interesting to interview her.
Her last album Bang Bang Boom Boom is full of great songs and cool guitar tones by Randy Flowers.
I can also highly recommend the album she has recorded with Joe Bonnamassa "Don't Explain":
Extracts played before the interview:
Sinner's Prayer - Beth Hart and Joe Bonnamassa "Don't Explain"
For My Friends - Beth Hart and Joe Bonnamassa "Don't Explain"
Well, Well - Beth Hart and Joe Bonnamassa "Don't Explain"
Bang, Bang, Boom, Boom - Beth Hart "Bang, Bang, Boom, Boom"
Enjoy,
Pierre.

It's a very special interview I propose you in this show because you might not know that but I am a big fan of Rory Gallagher who died in 1995 so I jumped on the occasion to interview Rory's brother, Donal, who followed him a lot on the road and who his taking care of Rory's legacy now.
In this interview Donal tells the whole story about how Rory almost joined the Rolling Stones after Mick Taylor quit in 1974. You will hear this and many more about Rory's music.
And who is the guitar player has NOT fantasized about Rory's battered 61 Stratocaster?
All Rory's albums are currently rereleased on CD so it's the perfect time to (re)discover the music of this great guitar player who disappeared way to soon.
Extracts played before the interview:
Laundromat from Rory Gallagher
Barley And Grape Rag from Calling Card

Marty Friedman (aka @_martyfriedman_) is one of those guitar super stars who seems to be going from one project to another non-stop.

I was very happy to interview Simon McBride (aka @smcbridemusic) via Skype as his music kept on showing up when I did some listening in shuffle mode to go through all the music I receive.
And each time it happened I said to myself "I really MUST have this guy in the show!".
That's the method I use: I hit play and if the music I hear interests me I take a note. When it happened several times for the same artist, it really means I am on to something.
Extracts played before the interview:
Devil's Road (Since Then)
Tear Down Your Soul (Since Then)

The Aristocrats is what you can call a super group with Guthrie Govan on the guitar, Bryan Beller (aka @bryanbeller) on bass on Marco Minnemann on drums. I had the great opportunity to talk to 2 out of the 3 members of the band.
Here is part 1 of 2 with the interview of Bryan Beller who also played with none other than Steve Vai among many others.
I tremendously enjoyed the Aristocrats debut album. Yes, it's chock full of incredible technical work but it is even more full of great songs with great melodies and feelings all over the CD.
We are talking music here, it's NOT a boring intellectual jazz-fusion thing. I can't wait to see those guys play live.
Song extracts from the album played before the interview:
Flatlands

For the second time I had the pleasure to meet and interview Bjorn Berge the great norwegian guitar player. The first time was last year in episode #78. The guy can be pretty intimidating but he is very cool and extremely nice.
I was at his New Morning show the night before we did the interview, he gave a superb show. The place was packed and the crowd very responsive to Bjorn. I highly recommend seeing him on stage, he rocks BIG time with "only" his 12 string guitars.
Here he is now with his latest CD called Blackwood.

He has a great voice, knows his way around a guitar and has a very wide range of styles he masters, from rock to deep roots blues to more funky stuff as well as more melancholic music.
It was a pleasure to discuss with him, check out his music or his show if you live nearby.

For the 2nd time (see #81 for the 1st interview), I had the pleasure to interview Popa Chubby as he was in paris to promote his latest album Back To New York City. After the interview we did a video recording of the song Pound Of Flesh you will see in next week episode.
Meeting and interviewing Popa is always some kind of adventure, this time we were supposed to to the interview in a radio studio but during the show he broke two strings so we had to go back to the hotel to get some new strings. We ended up doing the interview in the basement of his hotel in the gym room!

I saw him play for the Dixiefrog label party in Le Bataclan, it is quite something to see and hear this giant play for a packed house, he knows how to set the audience on fire.
